citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

The mayor shall sign:

(a) All warrants drawn on the city treasurer.

(b) All written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city.

(c) All instruments requiring the city seal.

The legislative body may provide by ordinance that the instruments described in (a), (b) and (c) be signed by an officer other than the mayor.
